How To Increase Your Fashion Label Sales Right Now

I often get emails on what is the best way to market a clothing line. While there is no best way or one size fits all models, some clear top practices have emerged. One of which is the use of affiliate marketing. You can utilize your own built in affiliate program through your shopping cart provider such as when you have a store powered by 3dcart. Going this route will require that you go out and actively find fashion websites and fashion bloggers to join your program. This might not be the easiest way to get the ball rolling especially if you are new brand. An easier way will be to join an affiliate network. Doing so could provide a tremendous boost in sales such as how Farfetch, a luxury fashion brand was able to increase their sales by 91% by using affiliate marketing.

Best Time of the Year to Launch Your Clothing Line


The best time of the year to launch your clothing line varies. In reality, it really depends on when you are ready and all of your ducks are in a row. Have you planned out all of your marketing activities to let everyone know that your line is launching. You should spend just as much time looking into how you will announce your line as any other activity related to starting your own clothing line. Timing of your efforts should coincide with factors like when will your clothing production order make it to your warehouse. I mean firmly know when you garment production order is coming in - meaning you can practically touch it because it is on a plane, boat or in the hands of your shipping carrier. In the real world of fashion, orders are often late so you don’t want to announce your line is available right now in your press activities and it is not. At the same time, beyond the scenes you are sweating bullets because your clothing manufacturer or T-shirt screen-printer promised your order would be ready but now have excuses as to why they are running behind.

Starting a business is like writing code

Sure, most of us are not engineers or computer programmers but believe it or not, that same methodology applies to running your own business. Whether you have your own clothing line or you have some other type of business, running a company is like writing code. We can talk JavaScript, Html5, etc. as they are all programming languages.

When a programmer thinks about code, they have to envision what they want to see happen first and then come up with the code to make it manifest.
